Carly Simon - MENEMSHA lyrics

rate me

(Carly Simon/Peter Wood)

Peter's on the loose

I'd like to see him again

I remember when

We made love

On the jetty in the rain.

When the fishing boats would

Come back in

At the end of the day

He'd run up the hill to my cabin

With a swordfish and he'd say:

'Girl I want you all over again'

All over again

Chorus:

In Menemsha, Menemsha

Menemsha, Menemsha

The sunset on the sound

Were almost too much to take

We would dance on the hill

With our friends

'Til the morning would break

Everybody drank too much beer

In those days

Thank God it wasn't whisky

Or we'd all be dead

And Peter and me we'd pull the shades

Everyone was interested

In Peter and me

Chorus
